    1987 Buick Grand National .. I bought this car about 8 years ago from the original owner with around 22,000 miles & drove it around for about 3,000 miles before i made it the fastest GN i ever owned i have loved these GN's since i was to young to own one & as a car dealer by trade i tried to buy every one I've seen over the years , the car was very attractive to me being the history 1 owner from an older gentlemen which is been harder & harder to find . this car has a clean car fax , clean auto check , clean title , no accident's , never stolen & recovered just a really nice original car exactly what i was looking for .I was going to buy a GNX but it wasn't fast enough & too high of a starting point to modify & didn't want a garage queen or a car i couldn't drive .i wanted the car to have the respect it's once hade & not get mopped up by some 18 year kid in a subaru STI that don't know how to drive so i did some research & got in touch with Cal Hartline & told him i REALLY WANT A FAST GN it took around 4 years to complete the the plan / obtain all the parts needed , the car was repainted once & is laser straight with a very high gloss with no orange peel . i guess i did what had to be done in my eye's as a GN lover ! it's king of the hill like it was meant to be . I BUILT IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY WITH AN OPEN CHECK BOOK making it as fast & street legal with factory a/c as we can . it had to be reliable to drive anywhere that i wanted , work or play as i am not a mechanic . i listed what i feel is a fair price ..way under what i have invested , the car start's right up every time just as i planed , it is a work of art , love & labor it put's a smile on my face very single time i step on the gas . it has fresh fluids , plugs , optima battery & new exhaust . you can come put up on my lift & i can go over the entire car with you .i am open to trades , if i don't sell it before the Mecum or Barrett Jackson sale it will be entered this year , the car makes 900 HP @ 35 pounds of boost , Cal just re tuned it a few weeks ago & @ 17 pounds of boost its @580 HP on pump gas he has all info stored for years & is very familiar with it .I attached 2 pdf's with a list of everything in the car .$89,988 . my cell is 321-689-9178 thanks Jimmy

    Have you ever run it in the quarter mile? If so, what was your E/T? What is your reason for selling?

    My friend has one putting down around 650hp and it's pure insanity once it spools.

    Can't imagine 900!

    Never thought I'd see a GN on Fchat. Owned one for 11 years and absolutely loved the car. This looks perfect and from the numbers it puts down, an complete monster. Good luck with the sale.
